So actually, what quantity of energy you put into your body is literally the only provable way of changing your mass.....
So it's NOT actually a stupid argument.
It's the only scientifically supported one.

You do realize that people on keto & intermittent fasting plans are still supposed to eat their normal amount of calories per day, right?
Energy in, energy out is a very simplistic way of looking at it.
Calories are not equal.
Again, there is a reason these two diets work better than most others.
Also, scientifically supported arguments told us fats were bad and we should eat more carbs, breakfast in the most important meal of the day (a lie perpetuated by cereal companies to get kids to eat more sugar filled garbage), etc, etc. At the end of the day big food had a massive influence over what is being researched and presented to the public. Remember the massive outcry when Canada changed our food guide?
The studies on intermittent fasting are only beginning and almost every single we are seeing is positive.
If you want to actually read more on the subject from someone who is in the field and working with patients that are on these programs, look up Dr. Jason Fung. He knows more than some stupid Stanford study or 'skepticsunited' website.
